I mentioned recently how important North Carolina could be as a swing state, not only because it would be a winnable traditionally red state, but also because there's a senate seat available there. Marist College (A+ rated by 538) released a poll today showing Biden up 7 and Cunningham up 9 over Tillis. Governor Roy Cooper, who's often butted heads with Trump over the Coronavirus handling, is at +20. They could also swing some house seats, as North Carolina voted roughly 50/50 in the 2018 elections, but due to a ridiculously gerrymandered map, Republicans carried the house delegation 10-3. But with a new, less-gerrymandered district map, Democrats are poised to pick up at least 2 seats there, and maybe more if those top-of-ticket numbers hold.
